When was the last time a democrat lost the popular vote?

In 2004 President Bush won by a narrow margin of 35 electoral votes and took 50.7% of the popular vote. Bush swept the South and the mountain states and took the crucial swing states of Ohio, Iowa, and New Mexico, the last two flipping Republican. Although Senator Kerry flipped New Hampshire, Bush won both more electoral votes and states than in 2000. Ohio was the tipping-point state, and was considered to be the state that allowed Bush to win reelection.
